Help me. What does pro-vaccines and/or anti-vaccines have anything to do with metals in the atmosphere?
Did you watch the video yet? It sounds like there is a disconnect between your comments and the plot of the video.
People who spin weird pseudo scientific stories about vaccines use the same gaps in logic and scientific illiteracy of their viewers to make up these fantastic stories about how their homeopathic medicines work, the same way these chemtrail people convince everyone there's some mystical shadow government despite what scientists have been saying for decades. As a result there tends to be a huge demographic overlap. (edit: as it turns out, the presenter in this video cites a website and a doctor that both have taken up a crusade against vaccines and science based medicine, so there's your link there)
Of course, none of these ridiculous theories has one more millimeter of ice to stand on than any other.
This guy demonstrates by 5 minutes not only that he couldn't pass a high school chemistry class, but he can't even read the abstract of the patent he's got behind him. I really don't think I want to watch the whole thing. (edit: i will anyway it's almost entertaining)
This guy uses a classic youtube conspiracy trope like its his job. Notice how nearly every time he says 'the only place this is happening is the continental US', there are multiple other blue spots on the map, sometimes that are as big or darker. He also misinterprets the data for you away from 'this is where the temperatures are anomalous (although he does state this initially)' to 'this is where it's hot and this is where it's cold', at one point stating that 'it's hotter at the north pole than it is in the continental US!'. Believing this guy almost comes down to an issue of self respect.
It also comes down to scientific literacy. i don't know whether this guy is trying to be intentionally misleading or he's just never picked up a book about paleoclimatology, but every time he says 'this is unprecedented' with one of those maps of uneven climate change laterally across the US, he's showing you a picture that could have practically been taken from a textbook in a section about what you would expect to see during a period of climactic change.
He does raise a really important issue though: "how could it switch so radically in one year?"
This is a chart of proxy data used for temperature reconstructions from various core samples going back 40k years.
Our current climate rests on a pinhead of stability that has not existed on earth in a very long time. Human civilization is extremely dependent on this stability. The current epoch starts at about 10kya, this is the holocene (the previously mentioned period of notable climate stability). You'll notice that, during the last ice age at the end of the pleistocene, the temperatures were not just colder- they were all over the place. This is why scientists warn that climate change not only brings warmer temperatures, but flashes of colder ones. The earths climate is very complex and just because it trends one way does not mean a)it happens evenly across the globe (notice that the variability in the northern hemisphere was much more severe than that of the southern hemisphere) b)it happens consistently over short time spans.
By the way, in case you're curious about what Al

You should consider that every property of the 'metals in the atmosphere' he talked about was either hilariously misinformed or worryingly misleading. If you remember back to literal high school chemistry, or maybe Chem 101 if a more recent course would be better, the properties of an ionic solid - that is, a metal cation bonded to a nonmetal anion- and then rewatch portions of this video, particularly the beginning, you'll find it pretty hilarious.
